The demonstrative pronouns point out specific places, or things.

The demonstrative pronouns are: this, that, these, those.

Examples:

That is the school where I attended grade school. (a specific place)

Those are my favorite flowers. (specific things)

Note: When placed before a noun to describe that noun, the demonstrative pronouns are adjectives.

Example: Those flowers are my favorite.
